sorry for misspelling, anyways i didnt say there was nothing wong with soldering, just thought you were saying you soldered it to the plug, thinking why would you do that.... and soldering is not that big of a deal to call it art. i do it almost on the daily basis..... just like welding.... its not that big of a deal to call "art"

It's not really like welding at all to be honest. Brazing or braze welding, kind of. Do a little research. Soldering is not much of an art, it's actually pretty easy to solder two wires together. And it's far from lost, if you own any electronic devices at all you have an example of something soldered every day, tens (probably hundreds) of thousands of times at that. Also, look at the copper piping in your house, it's all soldered together.
